Overview

We enable non-profits to run online thrift stores without inventory or risk. Everybody has too much stuff. Charities do not want stuff, but they do want cash. On WebThriftStore, anyone can donate excess stuff to charity from the comfort of home. Then buyers find bargains, charities get cash, and donors receive tax deductions. Plus, redistributing goods is good for the environment! Our customers are US 501(C)3s and online shoppers.
